<P>Untouched, and we are working on a plan for bringing groups to existing team sites, and this would be optional.</P>Fri, 02 Sep 2016 17:29:32 GMTMark Kashman2016-09-02T17:29:32ZROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8309#M658
<P>Today marks the beginning of bringing the <STRONG>full power of SharePoint to Office 365 Groups</STRONG>, with additional benefits to SharePoint Online all up! New and existing groups will get modern team sites, which come with an updated <STRONG>Home</STRONG> page, the ability to pin items within the new <STRONG>Quick links</STRONG> web part, and to see what's going on in the site via the new <STRONG>Activity</STRONG> web part.&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>These team sites within Office 365 Groups, and existing team sites throughout SharePoint Online, will also&nbsp;have the ability to create <STRONG>publishing pages</STRONG> - fast, easy to author pages that&nbsp;support rich multimedia content, and look great on mobile browsers and via the SharePoint mobile app. Get ready to communicate and share your ideas within SharePoint like never before.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Additionally, Microsoft will increase the site collection limit in SharePoint Online to "<STRONG>up to 25TB</STRONG>" (previously "up to 1TB); this will be refelcted in an update to the official "<A href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/sharepoint-online-software-boundaries-and-limits-HA102694293.aspx" target="_self">SharePoint Online boundaries and limits</A>" support article.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Please review the associated blog on&nbsp;blogs.office.com, "<STRONG><A href="https://blogs.office.com/2016/08/31/new-capabilities-in-sharepoint-online-team-sites-including-integration-with-office-365-groups/" target="_blank">New capabilities in SharePoint Online team sites including integration with Office 365 Groups</A></STRONG>" with numerous links to new and updated support.office.com articles.</P>

Great news! A 25TB limit for site collections is great, but what about increasing the "Storage base per tenant" up from the laughable 1 TB and only 500 MB per user? Then we have to pay $0.20/GB/month or ~$200/TB/month to increase storage? This is quite expensive for a video production company like us.Wed, 31 Aug 2016 17:28:47 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8323#M663Dan Bedford2016-08-31T17:28:47ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8325#M664

How will the end users get notifed on this changes? Especially to exisiting sites and groups.Wed, 31 Aug 2016 19:03:08 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8346#M666Knut Relbe-Moe2016-08-31T19:03:08ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8347#M667
Will this work side-by-side with the old publishing pages, or what about converting teh traditional pages to the new pages?Wed, 31 Aug 2016 19:03:55 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8347#M667Knut Relbe-Moe2016-08-31T19:03:55ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8353#M668
<P>The foundational element of both is a SharePoint Online&nbsp;team site. For the modern team site connected to groups, it is adding new fuinctionality (home page, Quick links, Activity, integration with Office 365 Groups, etc.). Today and going forward, any new group gets a site. And coming soon will be the reverse, any new team site gets a group. And today, if you create a new group from within Outlook, that group gets a site. There will be methods from the SharePoint Online admin center where IT/admins can create standalone team sites from the admin console - these&nbsp;wouldn't&nbsp;be connected to Groups. And, existing team sites don't yet have the option to take on the modern home page; this is in the works.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>You're asking the right questions and we'll have more to say on this next phase of development in/at the&nbsp;Ignite 2016 timeframe.</P>Wed, 31 Aug 2016 19:58:59 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8353#M668Mark Kashman2016-08-31T19:58:59ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8358#M669
<P>At a platform level, both new and existing team sites are the same. The main difference is that team + groups comes with the new home page, the Quick Links and&nbsp;Activity modern web parts and the integration with Office 365 Groups for Files and Site within the apps Office 365 Groups provides membership to (the others being Conversations, Calendar, Notebook, Planner, etc.).</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>We are working at wiring up all Groups entry points - the big one for us is the SharePoint home, where you create a new subsite today, soon you will generate a unique site collection connected to Office 365 Groups. This is already in place for other entry points - like from within Outlook.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>It is still possible to create a default team site from the Sharepoint Online admin center. These wouldn't have a connection to Office 365 Groups.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>At the Ignite 2016 conference (end of Spet.2016), we'll have more to share for what it means for existing team sites to add access and control with Office 365 Groups membership, plus bringing the new home page and modern web parts.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Thanks,</P>

<P>It shouldn't; not during this phase, as it applies only to new and existing groups - which only have had the Files portion enabled (aka, the modern document library) for the Group. If you are using Office 365 Groups, you'll soon see "Site" added to the groups apps list. This is a new site for the group; not an existing team site. And going forward, when you create a new group, here too you would get a new, modern team site for the group.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>In the future we do want to enable the choice for existing team sites to have the new home page applied as the default home page. And we are concious of configuration and extensibility requirements. We'll have more to share at the Ignite 2016 timeframe.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Hope that helps for now,</P>

<P>We do understand the financials, and have consistently over time provided more storage as the default amount. To be clear, we did not up the amount of storage provided in this round as it was to increase the site collection limit - a common ask for information architecture. And we take your feedback and balance it with what the team has lined up next on the roadmap in parallel to the true costs of storage and balance on our end.</P>Wed, 31 Aug 2016 20:14:31 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8361#M671Mark Kashman2016-08-31T20:14:31ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8362#M672

<P>The mecahnism for creating a new page in an existing team site is unchanged. When they click on the gear icon in the upper right and choose "Create new page" they'll be greeted with the new authoring canvas&nbsp;and new web parts in the toolbox.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>And team site is all up new for Groups, with one added entry point from the home page to create a new page from under the site title. From the Group navigation, they'll see "Site" which takes them to the new modern home page for the group.</P>Wed, 31 Aug 2016 20:18:32 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8363#M673Mark Kashman2016-08-31T20:18:32ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8364#M674
<P>Not yet. The team is working on a plan to enable modern page creation for sites leveraging the publishing infrastructure. It is one area we chose to hold rollout so we can make it seamless and not step over existing page publishing processes. More to come soon about our approach here.

Nope! If you have modern lists and libraries turned off, you'll still get this change. When you navigate to the team site associated with a group, you'll be able to create and use lists and libraries there, and they'll use the classic UI as you'd expect.Wed, 31 Aug 2016 21:39:23 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8380#M678Lincoln DeMaris2016-08-31T21:39:23ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8381#M679
These capabilities will begin rolling out to first release users next week.

There are no plans to convert classic pages to modern pages - we probably will never do it.

<P>Under the covers it's a full-powered SharePoint team site - so yes. And no news on branding beyond the new look &amp; feel of the home page for Office 365 Groups team sites.

Have there been any improvements to the authoring canvas?<BR /><BR />We've had a lot of pain and suffering with Delve blogs due to the limitations for text formatting, especially for users who wanted more control over font size/monospaced fonts.

<P>FYI for "up to Today":</P>
<P>1. "create site" creates a subsite in an IT-chosen site collection; unless they developed a custom solution to do otherwise (there is a custom solution in GitHub that does this :-)).</P>
<P>2. New private site collection created from within SPO admin center = unique, new site collection.</P>

Thanks. I really am just confused about where I should build going forward. I'm currently redesigning my team site template, and if I have to use groups to get the "soon to be" feature set, I'll just do that.<BR /><BR />Thanks.

Hi Lincoln,<BR /><BR />My sites aren't highly customized beyond some web parts I don't even need. Some of my templated sites are already using the modern libraries and lists, but I like the new "modern" home page to bring the look and navigation together. Right now, the home page (and settings pages) look completely different from the lists and libraries. I'd like to stop that.<BR /><BR />Further, I'm rebuilding all my sites right now (I'm about a year into our rollout, and have learned a lot / need to adapt). What I really need is the ability to generate the full "modern" build including home page. If that includes creating a group, I'll create a group. No problem there. I think there just needs to be more documentation as to what is changing, what is staying the same, and what paths (SharePoint Admin, Subsites, O365 Groups) lead to the same place.<BR /><BR />Thanks.Wed, 31 Aug 2016 23:45:32 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8394#M688Joe Fedorowicz2016-08-31T23:45:32ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8397#M689
<P>Makes sense.&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>For the time being, the easiest way to do what you want is to just create a new modern page, add the Quick Links and Activity web parts to it (or any other web parts!) and set that as the homepage of your site using the "Make Homepage" command in the Pages library.&nbsp; Give that a try when the new bits hit your environment and let us know how it goes.</P>Thu, 01 Sep 2016 00:57:08 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8397#M689Lincoln DeMaris2016-09-01T00:57:08ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8399#M690

Great answer. I still have a couple of questions though. If we decide to go with Team Sites now, will we ever be able to connect those to some corresponding Office 365 Groups? I mean will we be forever locked to that decision?

What about Yammer, which we have embedded in our team sites. I outline some alternatives: 1) Will Yammer replace the newsfeed as the out-of-the-box social feed in sites 2) Will a Yammer feed still be embeddable as today. 3) Will Yammer be a web part that we will have access to via the new publishing pages, or 4) Do you have any other kind of integration between sites and Yammer in mind?<BR />Thu, 01 Sep 2016 18:38:47 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8523#M730Morten Myrstad2016-09-01T18:38:47ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8533#M731

That is great to hear. In our case, we're specifically designing our solution around the simplest possible permissions structure, as in having a single security group containing the members that would have access to a given SharePoint site. This is explicitly to make it work as much as o365 groups in the hope of being able to connect to an o365 group down the road with as little work as possible. For us, the option of being able to "upgrade" an existing site so that it could have a connected o365 group, thereby removing any and all custom peromissions, would be a very small problem. Of course I am aware that this probably doesn't apply to everyone, but perhaps it could be rolled out in such a fashion to begin with?Fri, 02 Sep 2016 07:58:21 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8593#M741Allan With Sørensen2016-09-02T07:58:21ZRE: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups &amp; Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8630#M747
A question for the people in the know. How will the new Group Sites handle permissions. Will we be able to set different permission levels on a library basis, like on a SharePoint site? Will we be able to use the Group Admin level in our permissions, sort of like Site Owners - Site Members - Site Visitors?

<P>I'd have previously described Team Sites as a 'container', designed to bring everything your team needs together in one place.

<P>Each app has a main use case, and certainly some overlap in cases - or hand off from app-to-app when appropriate. SharePoint app = sites &amp; portals access. OneDrive = files management. Groups app = interact with group conversations. The portfolio of apps is always being evaluated and adjustments of how they interact and overlap are expected.

<P>First main diff to consider is that Office 365 Groups creates an object in Azure Active Directory (AAD), where it can then support auth across apps more easily. Next I'd say we are using the best of all apps. For example: Calendaring and mail are&nbsp;best offered via Exchange Online - and Office 365 Groups uses EXO to provide the group with a shared cal and inbox; and improvement over SharePoint calendars and site mailboxes. We do use SharePoint Online for the Group's notebook, document library (Files) and now the site itself for pages, lists, subsites and biz apps. And beyond these examples, Groups brings access to Planner, Power BI, Skype for Business, etc.. with much easier integration and permisisons management. Initial thoughts. Hope it helps. - Mark.</P>Fri, 02 Sep 2016 17:15:51 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8773#M763Mark Kashman2016-09-02T17:15:51ZRe: RE: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups &amp; Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8775#M764

<P>First, I'd say the main differrence in how to think about it is that it is not Groups vs Team, it's Office 365 + the full power of a SharePoint Online team site. Groups is the list of members, and SharePoint is where they get work done - right alongside the ability for the group to have a shared inbox and calendar, a team notebook, group Skype ("Meet now"), etc. SharePoint Online team sites have always contributed the default document library for the group, "Files."

<P>When you first create your tenant, you get default pooled storage for SharePoint Online, calculated at 1TB + (0.5GB * E users); so for 5,000 seats, the company would have 3.5 TB of pooled SPO storage on day one.

<P>No. It only removes the entry point from SharePoint home. Users, in this scenario, would still be able to create a Group from Outlook, and the end result (starting soon) means that they group gets a team site, too, alongside the shared calendar, inbox, notebook, etc...</P>Fri, 02 Sep 2016 17:25:26 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8782#M767Mark Kashman2016-09-02T17:25:26ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8785#M768

It follows the membership management Office 365 Groups offers.

<P>Hi Brent,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Office 365 Groups weren't designed to have workload components removed, and as such you cannot keep the an orphaned SharePoint site after removing its parent Group&nbsp;(or vice versa).&nbsp; There will still be ways to provision traditional SharePoint sites that are not connected to groups though.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Can you comment further on the scenarios where you would want to have stripped down functionality (e.g. just conversations and files)?</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>Fri, 02 Sep 2016 17:59:56 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8800#M771Tejas Mehta2016-09-02T17:59:56ZRe: RE: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups &amp; Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8859#M772
<P>SharePoint <EM>does</EM> provide the ability for Site Owners to specify different permissions on resources. Office 365 Groups promises a permission model whereby all group members have access to the group’s resources across workloads (e.g. conversations, files, notebook, etc.). To deliver consistency,&nbsp;SharePoint site collections associated with a Group will also follow this model. So, a group (site) owner can add new permission levels and assign to new users or groups on a resource, but would not be able to remove the permission levels assigned to the group’s owners or members. We are working on delivering a new permissions management UX that will allow for group (site) owners to change the group members’ permission level from Edit to Read-only (and vice versa) but you would not be able to remove the members from resources in the SharePoint site collection.</P>Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:09:17 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8859#M772Tejas Mehta2016-09-02T20:09:17ZRe: RE: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups &amp; Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8867#M774

<P>Having the ability to assign read-only access is a big deal in our case and I believe many others. &nbsp;As much we try to be more inclusive instead of exclusive, everyone having the same access doesn't always sit right. &nbsp;Often we say "teams" but within those teams are different roles, responsiblities and tasks. &nbsp;Sometimes that team isn't always about working together on every part but more about presenting final data/assets/reports/documents/etc to others. &nbsp;That collateral ultimately we want to surface through the teamsite/page itself.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I really think one of the biggest issues some of us struggle with is that Groups&nbsp;give us great tools for the "doing" and "working on it" modes and then teamsites let us finish everything off with the "presentation" piece. &nbsp;The issue is that we don't always want to expose the "working" pieces to everyone. &nbsp;Not everyone needs to see the cake being made in the bakery, or the discussions/disagreements/chaos in the background. &nbsp;Teamsites are like that glass window where the cake is shown. &nbsp;That's the struggle most of us have is that with Groups + Teamsites, now everyone can go into the back room.</P>Sat, 03 Sep 2016 05:40:21 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8966#M785Clint Lechner2016-09-03T05:40:21ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8973#M786
Thank you so much @MarkKashan for the clarification. You've explained it so better, that I see that this is a much improved way of connecting the components together as compared to the earlier team-sites with site-mailbox and cal etc.<BR /><BR />That reminds me of asking another question - Am I correct in my understanding that when a group is created, the default documents library is located in a separate site-collection (and that host web will contain only this document library) and the new team-site will be provisioned as a separate sub-site inside a pre-designated but different site-collection? So, in effect there will be two SharePoint sites involved with one group? Or am I completely wrong and that there is only one site-collection which holds all the SharePoint components together for a group?Sat, 03 Sep 2016 07:50:55 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8973#M786Abhimanyu Singh2016-09-03T07:50:55ZRe: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/8974#M787

1. 0.20 $/GB/ month<BR />2. I don't understand what you mean...if you are talking about storage, simply apply the following formula: 1 TB + 500 MB x # Users in your tenant<BR />3. I don't understad what you mean.<BR />4. Microsoft makes a daily backup of your data each day...each backup is retained by Microsoft 14 days...just check SPO service descriptionSun, 04 Sep 2016 20:23:24 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/9047#M793Juan Carlos González Martín2016-09-04T20:23:24ZRE: ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups &amp; Pageshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/rolling-out-sharepoint-online-team-sites-office-365-groups-amp/m-p/9131#M795
